This time, she dreamed of the scene of becoming a guardian.
She dreamed that she slipped and fell into a bottomless lake behind the village.
Chapter 124 The Night I Became a Guardian
Mayumi Haga dreamed of the scene when she became a guardian.
The Far East.
Mayumi Haga lived here with her mother for the first sixteen years of her life.
Unlike other places on this continent, the Far East is more like a paradise. The climate is always mild, there is enough rain, there are no ferocious beasts, and thieves and robbers are rarely seen.
Ever since Mayumi Haga could remember, she had been living in such an environment.
Her mother was always pale and quiet. She would smile at her tenderly and call her "Little Feather" affectionately.
The neighbors here are actually quite nice people. They always help the widow and orphan. When my mother's illness was not so serious at the beginning, their life was not too difficult. My mother came to the Far East with a large sum of money, which was enough for the widow and orphan to live a simple life for decades.
Although Mayumi Hanega is not a healthy child, a little clumsy and not perfect, but in her mother's eyes, little Hanega is the best child in the world.
When two sick people live together, when the other one falls down first, the remaining one usually won't be able to hold on for long.
Before becoming a guardian, Mayumi Haga suffered from congenital heart disease and had to stay at home with her mother most of the time, helping to make small items to supplement the family income and watching other children chasing each other in the sun with envy.
After her mother fell ill, the burden of the family fell on her shoulders. Although people in the village often helped her, Mayumi Haga, who was not used to trouble others under her mother's teaching, would still try to solve most problems by herself.
Mayumi Haga, who had just returned home from collecting firewood in the back mountain, heard her mother coughing.
The coughing sound came intermittently from the house. The sixteen-year-old Mayumi Yuga hurriedly threw the firewood in her arms aside and walked quickly into the house: "Mom? How are you?"
She saw her mother leaning against the head of the bed, covering her mouth with her sleeve and coughing hard, her body hunched over.
Mayumi Haga's mother had long, black hair as silky as silk, and skin as fair and delicate as a baby's...but she had been tortured by illness over the years, and her skin had become much thinner. Her face was sickly, sallow and thin, and she was no longer the doll-like beauty she used to be.
The thing that is most similar between Mayumi Haga and her is their eyes, which are always calm.
However, at this time, Mayumi Yuga was still an inexperienced child. Seeing her mother in more pain than usual, and smelling the bloody smell gradually spreading in the house, she couldn't help but panic: "Mom?"
This time, my mother's attack came more suddenly than any other time. The village witch doctor clearly said that even if her body didn't get better after taking the medicine, it wouldn't get worse in a short period of time... Thinking of this, Mayumi Yuga immediately turned around to find the witch doctor.
The witch doctor in the village is a real talent, but due to his limited qualifications, he cannot use witchcraft to bring the dead back to life, and all he has inherited is ordinary medical skills. In fact, rather than witch doctors, he should be called a "doctor". However, people in this world confuse witchcraft and medical skills, so it's okay to call him that.
Mayumi Haga rushed over and called the elderly woman in her seventies away from home. The witch doctor was surprised and hurriedly followed to diagnose Mayumi Haga's mother.
It seemed that the situation was indeed urgent, as the witch doctor sent Mayumi Yuga out as soon as he entered the room.
Mayumi Haga only remembers that time when her mother almost died.
She waited outside the door from day till night before the witch doctor grandma let her in.
"I'm afraid she doesn't have much time left... If you take good care of her, she will be much happier." As soon as the witch doctor opened the door, he saw Mayumi Haga dozing off by the door. She looked really miserable.
The child was originally weak and although his family had never deprived him of food, he did not absorb much nutrition from the food he ate. After his mother fell ill, he had hardly eaten a proper meal. Now he was even thinner and his eyes looked too big.
Although he was about to fall asleep, he opened his eyes dazedly the moment he heard the sound, tilted his head back and looked at me with pleading and uneasy eyes.
Although the witch doctor felt pity for the other person, she could only tell the truth and let the child take good care of her mother's last journey.
After hearing this, Mayumi Haga slowly lowered her head.
She whispered, "Thank you, witch doctor grandma. You've worked hard today. I'll send the consultation fee over tomorrow."
The witch doctor wanted to touch her head, but in the end it just turned into a sigh.
After the witch doctor left, Mayumi Yuga was the only one left in the yard. She stood in front of the door for a while before she quietly opened it.
The old wooden door creaked, and a thin shadow was cast on the floor. The person on the sickbed had fallen into a deep sleep. Mayumi Hanega moved over carefully and saw that her mother's lips were dry and chapped.
I wanted to pour some water, but found that the kettle was already dry. I looked at the water tank and it was almost empty as well.
She hadn't eaten anything today, so her stomach was empty. When she came to her senses, she felt dizzy.
Mayumi Haga hesitated for a moment, but decided to go to the back mountain to fetch some water.
Her house is located at the edge of the village, far away from other houses, but it is close to the back mountain. It is only about 100 or 200 meters to fetch water. The lake is not deep and there are no wild animals in the back mountain.
You won't run into any danger, just be more careful where you step.
But she was so familiar with that road that she could know how to get there even without a torch, with her eyes closed.
After a brief thought, she decided to get some water for her mother and cook some porridge for herself.
She opened the door again in the moonlight in the yard and walked towards the dark forest hidden by the shadows of the trees.
She had walked this night road more than once before, but today was different.
The wind seemed to have stopped.
Even the chirping of insects disappeared from her ears, and the road under her feet seemed to become unfamiliar in this boundless silence. Helplessly, Mayumi Haga had to take out the flint to light the torch.
The firelight illuminated the way ahead. The girl walked quietly, but her eyes gradually lowered to her feet.
Her breathing became short and her eyes became sore. She walked without knowing the distance and just took steps mechanically. Gradually, she could not feel her body and her head was buzzing.
When she reached the lake, she finally couldn't hold back and let out very soft sobs.
In the silent, deserted forest filled with water vapor, the black-haired girl stood by the lake, secretly shedding tears where her mother couldn't see.
Just one or two drops fell, and all fell into the lake.
She wiped her slightly wet cheeks roughly, took two steps into the lake, and put the bucket down.
It was at this moment that something strange happened.
Mayumi Hanega felt as if something had grabbed her ankle and was being dragged so hard that she lost her balance and almost immediately fell into the freezing cold lake water!
What frightened her even more was the feeling of falling that she had never felt before in this shallow lake.
...This lake is not that deep at all!
Chapter 125 Self-healing failure
Mayumi Haga fell into a bottomless cold pool.
This is a very strange thing.
This was not her first time coming to the back mountain, and she knew the place very well. So she knew very well that the lake was not that deep. Even though she had not grown tall enough yet, she could still touch the bottom of the water and stand up easily.
But now, she just felt that she was falling.
Water rushed in from all directions, squeezing her fragile abdomen. She tried to open her eyes, but what she saw was not the shallow lake that was not illuminated by the moonlight.
She saw a golden full moon hanging in the sky.
She could almost see the eye-like patterns on it, and her own figure was reflected in the huge pupil, appearing so small.
It was when she was being stared at by these eyes that the panic and fear in her heart slowly dissipated. The lake water was no longer so icy cold, but quickly became warm, making her feel as safe as if she were in her mother's womb.
The self was fading away, and the shadow that once shrouded her soul was also disappearing. The fatigue and pain in her body were leaving her, and she gradually lost the sense of her body...
Mayumi Haga's consciousness gradually faded, but she seemed to be sleeping peacefully on the bed.
...No, that's not right...
At this time, I clearly did not give up struggling...
"Mayumi?! Mayumi!"
At the last moment, the anxious call coming from the distant sky made Mayumi Hanega suddenly wake up!
She opened her eyes, but her body felt numb and she couldn't lift her arms for a while. Not only that, her vision was also strangely blurry, and it only became clear quickly after she tried to regain consciousness.
Only after she could feel her limbs again did Mayumi Hanega sit up on the bed, breathing slightly.
Turning around, he saw Megrane on the bedside table, still in shock. Then he looked around and saw a complete mess. The water fairy's head was buzzing: "What's wrong with you? You started to..."
The limbs began to undergo strange changes.
It looked completely like the regenerative ability was out of control, unable to stop the limb from continuing to grow after it reached its original standard, so it almost turned into a twisted piece of meat... But because of the harmonious mechanism of this world, Mayumi Haga's body did not really lose control in the end, but began to dissipate after causing damage.
If Mayumi Haga is completely lost in the dream, then this body will be judged as a corpse and will become a puddle that cannot be caught.
By that time, it will be very difficult to wake up again.
Seeing that Mayumi Haga was about to [die], Megrane tried desperately to wake her up.
However, after waking up, Megrane also discovered the strangeness of Mayumi Haga.
After growing new limbs and waking up from that pool of human-shaped ice cream, Mayumi Haga is different now.
In the past, Mayumi Hanega was always so resolute that she didn't seem like a normal human being, but today her movements were a beat slow, and she seemed to be lost in her own thoughts. After sitting up, she covered her face with her hands, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
When Mayumi Haga turned around, Megalane was so shocked that she was almost speechless.
Under the left eye of that gloomy face, a dark straight line appeared at some point. At first glance, it looked like it was cutting Mayumi Hane's face in half, but upon closer inspection, it was a line filled with an ominous aura.
Megrane knew very well what it was, after all, she was almost swallowed by it.
“Mayumi…? When was this…” Megrane stuttered. This almost broke her cognition. It was obvious that Mayumi Yuga was the guardian who was least likely to be corrupted by the disaster.
After all, Mayumi Haga's core escaped very quickly, and the disaster erosion generally could not break through Mayumi Haga's core defense line.
Clearly, he was not corrupted when he was fighting alone and when the situation was even more dangerous...but why now?
Mayumi Hanega felt a headache for the first time in a long time. Her left eye was slightly narrowed, a little afraid of the light, and could not be fully opened. It was burning with pain.
But Megrane saw it more clearly.
When the black-haired girl is not in the guardian state, her eyes will not appear golden, and even if they turn into golden color, her eyes will only have an inorganic luster like a gem.
But now, the half of the eye that was climbed up by the disaster pattern has turned into a golden vertical pupil.
The background color was not clear, but rather muddy and gloomy, so gloomy that it did not seem like Mayumi Hana's own eyes.
"Hey, Mayumi, what on earth are you doing?!" Just as Megalane was about to say something, he saw Mayumi Yuga took out a mirror to look at her face, then took out a knife and stabbed it into her eye socket.
Mayumi Haga's core is in her brain. When it is eroded by the disaster, the flesh closest to the core will be affected first...that is, the most important head.
Even if it is a guardian, if the brain is damaged, the repair speed will be much slower than other parts of the limbs.
Damage to the brain will cause the Guardian to temporarily lose control of the body. Even if it is repaired quickly, the body's control will be weakened for a period of time.
For Mayumi Haga, it would naturally be the best option if her brain could remain intact.
But now I obviously can't go easy on myself.
The eyeballs were violently dug out and the skull was forcefully opened, exposing the core wrapped in the brain tissue. Dark lines appeared on the hard golden gem that should have been flawless.
Mayumi Haga's breathing was a little unstable and her arms were shaking, but she was still able to control her body, which was already a miracle.
Megrane swallowed her saliva. Although the scene before her made her a little uneasy, she immediately died down when she thought that Mayumi Hanega would recover in a short time and the finger in her mouth would suddenly move and tear her upper jaw open at any time.
Anyway, a small wound like this will heal completely in a short period of time so that not even the scar can be seen...eh?
Megrane noticed something was wrong.
Even though the head was damaged to this extent, the body's self-healing mechanism did not work. Instead, the hand became increasingly trembling and weaker. Finally, the black-haired girl fell down silently.
"Mayumi?! Hey, you can heal yourself?! Hey!"
The core rolled out, and the body was judged to be a corpse the moment it lost the core. It immediately turned into a half-melted human-shaped ice cream in the color of orange juice. Fortunately, the core still had the ability to resurrect from the dead. After a surge of flesh-colored liquid, the girl appeared in front of Megrane intact.
Mayumi Hanega half-knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses, but the wrinkles on her face did not disappear.
Although she would not die, she had lost the ability to heal herself.
Chapter 53: Only Lives Left
Because of being eroded by the disaster, Mayumi Haga lost her ability to heal herself.
Whether it is a temporary or permanent loss, it is actually not a big problem for the guardian.
Although they can no longer heal themselves after being injured, they can still be resurrected and reconstruct a complete body after death as long as the core is intact.
The self-healing abilities of other guardians are not as strong as Mayumi Haga, and most of the time they survive by resurrecting after death.
But Mayumi Haga is a little different.
Before becoming a guardian, she suffered from a severe congenital heart disease.
Even after becoming a guardian, the disease was not eradicated. Instead, it was suppressed by her powerful self-healing ability and no longer caused any splashes.
